French Restaurant · Gastown · 77 tips and reviews
@michaelkwan: L’Abattoir comes off with a certain kind of trendy, almost hipster-like vibe. Read more.
The Wall Street Journal: The exposed brick and beam look is a signature of the city's oldest neighborhood. L'Abattoir usually attracts an artistic and stylish crowd. The cocktail list is innovative and interesting. Read more.
The Province: This sleek spot is raising Gastown's game. Try the confit of Albacore tuna with smoky pork morsels and velvety crab custard in "brioche" with chick pea toast and Mostaccioli pasta with mozzarella. Read more.

Nina Nguyen: Loved the sushi à la carte, decently priced, fresh and creative. Happy hour on Thursdays from 3-6 consists of $10 for a pint of Asahi beer & a plate of gyozas. Cool and crisp ambiance for trendy crowd
Brian Jeng: Chirashi tart for lunchtime is great. Sustainble seafood and very fresh fish.
Andrew Wee: The spicy pork gyoza is one of the best ever gyoza I have ever tried

Shirley Tsang: Hip, small coffee shop. Great latte
John Howarth: Fantastic range of coffees from around the world, served in a range of styles. Small selection of cakes and pastries available as well....
Hugo Neuproler: Beware, they serve double espressos that are appropriately priced. Don't rejoice too loudly.
Cam_in_Bris: Iced latte is strong and smooth 👍 Hip fit out.
Trevor Luu: Their freshly brewed, made to order iced coffee pour-overs are delicious. The cafe area is bright, spacious and welcoming with plenty of natural wood elements.

Anne-Sophie: A concentrate of delicious baked goods (sour dough bread, perfectly flaky pains au chocolat / croissants) accompany great coffees in a retro hip atmosphere. Check out the wall art to the bathroom
Candace C.: Great pour over, nice open concept space with high ceilings, and the staff is very friendly!

Bakery · Yaletown · 61 tips and reviews
Jessica Jung: Get the croissant! The atmosphere is very hip and lively. They sell day-old bread in the morning for 40% discount. Coffee is also amazing.
Vicky Simmons: The almond croissants are perfect. The staff are great too.
Fayaz Ashraf: Yaletown's newest (best?) coffee bar. Cold brew, fresh baked bread & pastries, serious espresso.
Eric Tigre: Stylish Kitsilano cafe with rich-tasting espresso -- a must-stop for locals and visitors to Vancouver. 49th Parallel roasts their own beans available online and south of the border in Seattle, too! Read more.
Laurie Bennett: Really good coffee. Truly exceptional cinnamon sugar donuts.
Taylor Loren: This is where you want to come if you're an espresso snob. However, lack of outlets makes this more of a visiting locale than a work cafe.

American Restaurant · Coal Harbour · 99 tips and reviews
Steve H: This place has free wifi and is way trendy and classy. With a high class hotel feel and an Olympic torch cabinet.
Nabil Bazzari: Great views of coal harbour. Get a table next to lower window for the nice water views. Must try: yam fries, sabble fish, braised meat.
Steve Howard: The Cohiba is delicious !!
Dilhan Kasımcan: Actually a trendy place but the service is so so slow and there is a lot of noise inside. You can't talk and understand anything
Björn Rust: Amazing seefood and great deserts. Selected wines are amazing and fit well. Service is oldschool meaning formal and not personal at all.
Eater: The city's love of all things casual stops here: nowhere in Vancouver has such an beautiful room to enjoy truly fine dining. The elegant creations pair well with the surroundings. [Eater 38 Member]
